Our New House

December 17th was moving day and since then we have been busily making this house our home. I truly underestimated the amount of time I thought it was going to take to get settled into our new house. Christmas and 2 little ones definitely slowed things down, but it now has turned into a comfortable, cozy home to raise our family in. I'm not sure why, but this house feels more like home than any other house we have ever lived. It's most certainly not as big or as nice as our house in Texas was, but there's a comfort in this house that I have never felt before.

One of our first priorities was to remove the dead trees in the backyard. It was amazing watching this guy climb to the top of the 80 foot trees, cut, and drop the pieces to the team on the ground below. Both Ben and my brother kept repeating, "That's a real man."

This is where Ethan and Caden hung out with Aunt Lynn during moving day. Unfortunately, SpongeBob happened to be on and that is not something that we would normally watch.

And here's the house...

We have some clean-up and landscaping to do outside and lots of projects that we would like to do on the inside. Eventually, they will all get done but the night that we moved in the commode in the powder room overflowed and we discovered that there was a blockage in the sewer line on the outside of the house. So, Merry Christmas to us, we bought new sewer lines!! JOY JOY JOY. I HAD NO IDEA HOW EXPENSIVE THEY ARE! Needless to say, many of our projects are on hold now.
